They discover a burned female body inside and that the car only had 42 miles on it, even though it’s an older car.
The car flips onto its hood and Todd thinks maybe aliens did it. The mom says there is no such thing as Dirk Gently.Īnd now we catch up with Todd ( Elijah Wood) and Farah ( Jade Eshete) standing by the mysterious car that fell out of a tree. His mother demands the Trost lands be burned down, but Silas believes they have to unite with their enemy and that there’s still time to fulfill the prophecy. Quickly figuring out Silas’ mom isn’t buying his story, Silas’ guard, Wygar Oak (Aleks Paunovic), takes the blame and says Panto slipped away from him. (The Trosts don’t like the Dengdamors because the Dengdamors want to mine the land.)
Silas describes in too much detail a gruesome death, and his mother is surprised Silas was able to duel the greatest swordsman in the land and come out the victor. Inside a castle in Wendimoor, Silas Dengdamor (Lee Majdoub) kneels before his mother and lies that Panto Trost (Christopher Russell) has been killed. Let yourself be swept away.Samuel Barnett, Elijah Wood, and Jade Eshete in ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’ season 2 episode 2 (Photo Credit: Ed Araquel / AMC)īBC America’s Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency season two episode one began in the fantastical world of Wendimoor, and so does episode two. I can say that it changed the way I look at life for the better, it made me care at a time when I didn't. I could go on and on about this show, the beautiful music and cinematography, the powerful messages that are often underlying and sometimes outspoken, the relationships between the characters and the absence of toxic masculinity in the male heroes, but I'm already ranting, so I'm just going to end with this: Give this show a chance. No clichés ever show up, which is incredibly refreshing. The dialogue is never random, it changes dynamically between hilarious and thoughtful. As a woman I experienced a great relief in watching a show where no woman is sexualized in any way, but still considered worthy of love and acceptance.

The portrayals of women, lgbt+ people, people of color and mentally ill people are so respectful in a unique way that I think is mostly due to the fact that Landis knows how to write them as any other human being. None of these characters are unflawed and it makes you care about them in a way that I've never been able to care about fictional characters before.Įvery single actor is hugely talented, and the creative team behind the show must have put such a huge amount of love and effort into bringing Landis's vision to life. Above all they are relatable, despite or maybe because of them being a bit crazy and a loser in their own way. Despite being a show about a possibly psychic detective, that starts with an insane amount of different stories about characters that doesn't seem to have any impact on each other, everything is actually connected and brought together in a brilliant unexpected way in the end.Īpart from all this, Max Landis has managed to write every single character interesting, and capable of being the star of their own show. It is insanely well written, to the extent that something in s1 e1 that seems random is actually a thought-out part of the story that may become crucial in s2.
To try and list all the things that make this show special, will take several weeks, so I'll try to cut it short.
